Hints for Modern BARRIERS.

Our Saxon ancestors appear to have
devoted considerable attention to the
subject of their hair. Though ignorant
of macassar oil, they discovered that dead
bees burnt to ashes, and seethed in oil
with leaves of willow, would stop hair
from falling off; but should the hair be
too thick, then must a swallow be burned
to ashes under a tile, and the ashes be
sprinkled on the head. But in order
altogether to prevent the growth of hair,
found an effectual depilatory; never Will
any hair come there. "-Nineteenh Gen.
tu7Y.

GIRLS WHO DARE NOT sNEEzE IN GETTING MEASURED

New York Letter in Cincinnati ENQUIRER
/ met for a moment yesterday, while calling
upon distinguished actress, celebrated cutter
OF stage costumes, one OF q handful Of men who
have studied under Worth in Paris and have come
to America to get in their fine work. asked the
actress when had an opportunity why men were
employed to cut the dresses instead OF women.
and in what the particular art consisted. Said
she:
'If woman measures you for dress you have
to go back about three times and pass THROUGH
the operation OF being measured and your dress
let out or taken up, whereas these men, who have

The Fear Of Draughts.
From the Epoch

Foul dust In rooms cannot be got rid OF by any
amount OF sweeping and carpet beating The only
thing that will remove and replace it is current
OF comparatively pure air from the outside Ex-
cept in very cold weather. there should always be
two open windows in each room, on opposite sides.
'If we should follow that advice the horrtBed
reader will excla1m, 1--WE should all catch a fatal
cold. Don't remember dozen colds I Oof nv
being exposed to sudden draught? ONLY n few
nights ago. when occupied q seat near the door
OF theater, the door was left open during the in
PERMISSION, and the draught, though pleasant
draughts for me" This logic seems good, yet it
Is utter sophistry. As q metaphysician would saw.
tho draught was only the occasion, not the cause
OF the cold. The real cause was the foul. hot air
in the theater, which demOraiized yOilr skin
and relaxed its blood vessels so that
they were unable to react suddenly ana endure
the healthfu1 cool air from the street. In other
words, IL was not the draught that gave you
cold, put the sudden transition from hot to cold
ar. S9cn transition always Is injurious to the
SKIN, whether IL be rom hot to cold or from cold
to hot air. But II you are not overheated a cur
rent OF cold air Is never Injurious AS one OF the
greatest authorities on hygiene, Prof Reclam re-
marks: "DraughtS are not Injurious unleas we are
In glow. To healthy persons they cannOt nossi-
bly, 90 30 much harm as the Stagnant air in close
room. The fear OF draughtS Is entirely RrOundIeSs
though it AFFECTS most people in manner which
Is simply ludicrous." It Is high time TO acGuit
colds and TO convict the true culprt the in1ur1Oue
dollhouse atmosphere In our rooms Why do peO-

Who BideS His Time.

Who bides his time and day by day

And lifts a mirthful roundelay.
However poor his fortunes be-
He Will not fail i'll any qualm

Who bideS his time.
Who bides his time-he tastes the sweet

And, though be fares with slowest feet
Joy runs TO meet him drawing near.
The birds are heralds OF his cause,
And. like aneyer-ending rhyme,
The roadside blooms in his applause
Who bldes his time.
Who bides his time, and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves.
Shall wear cool wreathen laurel wrought
With crimson berries i'll the leaves;
And he shall reign goodly king,
And sway his hand on every cline,
With peace writ on his siynet ring,

Doctors Doses Milder than Formerly.
Interview with St Louis Druggist.
No one who has sold drugs during the last
twenty years can have failed to notice the great
change that has taken place in the amount Of
medicine called for by prescriptions sent us by
physicians. Not One-flfth of the medicine Is adj
ministered now that was prescribed ten years ago,
ana not physician in the city ever thinks of CIV
Ing the doses that were common In 1867. The rea-
son or this change can be traced directly to home
opathy. The allopathic physicians deny this, but
Wherever the hOmeOpathists have not found q
1ootnod the OLD system continues in nearly undi-
following the smaller the allOpathic doses. my
sell am an unbeliever in regard to homeopathy,
put think that 1t has done valuable service to
the community in delivering them from the old
Idea that dose OF medicine was beneficial in
proportion to its size and naStineSs. This Old be-
lief has many adherents In the country but in the
cities 1t has nearly disappeared, greatly TO the
dement, OF the community, and nearly every drug
Is due to the growth OF homeopathy.

De Bulge was very tender-hearted man when

any tale OF woe, no matter how remote 1t might be
from his own time and environment. He used to
say that he couldn't hurt fly, and he couldn't,

generally did. One afternoon when In his Guns DE

Queen Natalie at kischincff.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Queen Natalie OF Serv1as visit to Russia has been
marked by great enthusiasm on the part OF the
Russian population, and the following account OF
her reception at Kischinen gives q pretty picture
OF the fair sovereign: 1.-THE reception of Queen
Natalie at ktschineff," writes northern conrem-

Inc queen, as well as her sisters are passionately

OF SerVfa, and all kinds OF anecdotes are told
about her. Once she Is said to have rescued a
little girl at Belgrade out OF the very teeth OF a
mao dog. The Russian medical men at KtschinefY
VINO were In Serv1a during the Russo Bulgarian
war say that the queen was day and night to be-
found at the hospitals, and that she never shrank
from approaching even the worst invalid. Deeply
touched by the sight OF her Old home the queen
left her carriage at her recent visit with tears In
her eyes, and even little Sasha, the crown prince
whose education is left entirely In the queens

Result Of Idleness.

From the Scientific American.
There Is as much danger in hurting the brain by
1dleness as by Overwork. According to writer In
Faith and Work, DR.. FarquharsOn argues that in
teectual power is lessened by the listlessness in
which the wellto-do classes generally spend their
lives. Under such conditions the brain generally
loses its health, and although equal to the de-
mands OF routine existence, is unable to with
stand the strain Of sudden emergency. So, when
load of work is Unexpectedly thrown on 1t in its
unprepared state, the worst consequences OF what
may be called OverwOrk show themselves. SINH
larry, man accustomed to sedentary pursuits is
likely to be physically injured by taking suddenly
too violent exercise.
AS to the amount Of mental work that may
safely be done, DR.. FarquharsOn says: $50 long as
brain-Worker is able TO sleep well, and to take
fair proportion OF outdoor exercise IL may safely
be said that 1t Is not necessary to impose any
c1al limits on the actual number OF hours which
he devOtes to his labOrS. But when what is gene
orally known as worry steps in to cOmplicate mat
ters, when cares connected with FAMILY arrange
mentS or with those numerous personal details
which we can seldom escape, intervenes, or when
the daily occupation of LIE is In itself fertile
source OF anxiety, then we find one or other OF
these safeguards broken down."
